sure it's not the cable?
The ITI speedometer gears from around 2003 to 2005, were METAL and failed quickly. Yes, a lot of people assume they must be plastic, but no, they were metal.On those ITI speedometers, when the metal gear failed, the odometer quit. The speedometers generally did not fail.Is yours an ITI? Since the speedometer has failed, and there is no 'gear' in the speedometer driving the needle, I would first inspect the cable closely.
FYI, There is no gear on the speedometer, in the speedometer. (there is one in the transmission)
Since I�ve never been inside the odometer in question it�s hard to argue with your statement. However it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that gears has to operate the odometer and trip meter, which stopped working first in mine. Also a specialists in the field of odometer repairs offered to replace the GEARS in my unit for 250 bucks. So feel free to explain further and I am eager to learn something here.

I repair speedometers and agree with the statements that the speed function has nothing to do with gears. Rotate the rear wheel (neutral is fine) and see if the cable spins at the speedo end. I've found that the cables in my Guzzis don't have an inch to spare in length, and if not routed in the most direct fashion, will have problems. Of course, something could have happened to the speedo function of your gauge, but don't assume right off without checking, that that's the case.
Thanks Wire for attempting to help. I’m a little confused with the account that there are no gears involved as I’m fairly confident that’s not likely accurate. My odometer is mechanical and I feel sure there are gears that control the odometer and trip meter. If this helps let me describe the failure events. The odometer and trip meter stopped abruptly and the speedometer kept working. Several miles later the speedometer also stopped functioning. I removed the locking collar on the back of the can and the cable was well inside the odometer, well lubed and using pliers I couldn’t remove any part of a broken cable. Does this not assure the problem is a stripped gear inside the can?
Pull the other end out of trans as the break about 1-2" above the trans also as per what I have found over 42yrs of working on them.
It would seem logical that the gears in the speedometer that drive the odometer may have broken teeth of and a piece of that jammed in the magnetic coupling for the speedometer. That said the cable still needs to be checked at the output of the transmission to insure that the cable isn't buggered up between transmission and speedometer unit.
